Suvorov Square, Square in Meshchansky District, Moscow, Russia
Suvorov Square is a public square in the Meshchansky District of Moscow, Russia. It is bordered by Durov Street, Oktyabrskaya Street, and Soviet Army Street, and features a central monument to General Alexander Suvorov.
The area was developed in the 16th century and was originally called Ekaterininskaya. In the 1930s the Naprudnaya River was enclosed in pipes and a square was laid out, later renamed in honor of Suvorov in 1982.
The square is named after General Alexander Suvorov, and his statue in the middle is a common meeting point for locals. People often gather near the monument or stroll along the surrounding streets, especially on weekends.
The square is easy to reach on foot from nearby metro stations and makes a good starting point for exploring the surrounding streets. Visit during the day to see the monument clearly and to enjoy the cafes around the square.
The Naprudnaya River once flowed openly here, but today it runs underground in pipes beneath the square. The building that now houses the Central House of the Russian Army was reconstructed in 1928 and still has a bust of Mikhail Frunze on its front lawn.
